THE LAST MEETING.
The Presid: mt Preparing for His Jaunt
Through the West.

The President Preparing for His Jaunt
Through the West.
WASHINGTON, September 27.-The last
meeting OF the Cabinet prior to the Presi-
dents departure for the West was held at
the White House to-day at the usual hour.
There were present Secretaries Bayard,
Fairchild, Whitney, Endicott, and Lamar
and Acting Postmaster General Stevenson.
Acting Attorney General jerks had an
interview with the President before the
meeting, hut did not remain during the
session. The meeting is regarded as an
important one, as it is believed the policy
to be adopted by the Treasury Depart
ment with regard to the surplus up to the
time of assembling OF Congress will he de-
termined. 1t is also understood that the
Canadian fisheries, the Alaska seal fish
cries and the Indian troubles in Arizona
were considered.
The session lasted till about two o'clock.
Ii was impossible to obtain any direct in
formation as to the business transacted,
except in the matter OF the fishery negotia-
tions, which appear elsewhere in these
dispatches.
Secretary Fairchild remained i'll confer
ence with the President about haitian hour
after the adjournment. He positively de-
clined 20 say anything in regard to the
future financial policy of the Treasury de-
partment. From other sources, however,
it is learned that the President left the
matter to the discretion of the Secretary,
and that there is no prospect of any i'm
mediate change of programme.
